Pamela heard Willow's voice. She turned around and immediately ran to her upon seeing her.They held hands, happily chatting for a while before heading into school fully satisfied.…I sat in the car and watched the two of them. I couldn't help but feel happy.Pamela was Willow's only friend. If it was possible, I hoped their friendship could last a long time.The two girls walked into their classroom.I looked away and happened to catch sight of Shayne who was nearby. This caused my expression to darken uncontrollably.Julian was seated beside me. He noticed the change in my expression and asked, "Did you see him?""Yeah," I replied calmly. "Didn't he already abandon Zach? Why is he here at the kindergarten?"Julian speculated casually, "Maybe he wants to mend his relationship with Zach?"I shook my head. "He and his mother prioritize Luna, and not long ago, they were obviously preparing to give up on Zach. I had assumed he would treat the child Luna is carrying as his futur

Mark answered methodically, "Didn't we completely retract our collaboration with the Wilson family a few days ago?"Julian nodded. "That's right."Mark handed a folder to Julian. "I reached out to a new company to collaborate with. I had just contacted them, and they pulled me into their factory to show me their latest products. They also mentioned that they've just made a breakthrough in their technology. "However, the companies they're currently working with can't handle such large orders. They were still worrying about finding a market for their products during their meeting a few days ago. In the end, we extended an olive branch to cooperate." Julian accepted the folder and opened it. "Have you tested their new products? How do they compare to the Wilson family's products?"Mark was full of praise. "So much better, Mr. Hughes..."He then praised their product immensely.Julian skimmed through the product brochure. Mark continued, "These past few days, I've been thankfu

"Mom, can you please divorce Dad?"It was 9:00 pm. I was trying to put Zach to sleep. Just when I thought he was about to drift off, he suddenly asked that question.That short question left me stunned for a long minute. My hand patting on his back also froze.I felt a painful twinge in my chest.Over the years, my relationship with my child's father had been pretty good. Logically, a child nurtured by love should feel happy living in such an environment.And yet…Why did he have such thoughts?Puzzled, I asked, "Why do you say that?" I softened my voice in case I unintentionally scared him."You never let me eat fried chicken or ice cream..."As he was almost asleep, his voice was unclear and tinged with the innocence typical of his age.I didn't know whether to feel amused or disappointed.To think that he wanted me to divorce his dad because of something so trivial...Children sure were naive.As I listened to his breathing gradually grow steady, I knew he had fallen as

With the tablet in my hands, I left Zach's bedroom and headed straight for Shayne's study.But I couldn't understand...Out of everyone, why Luna?The first time I heard about Luna was at my wedding.Shayne treated me well back then. When I was feeling down, he would tell me it was okay, and that nobody was perfect. He would patiently stay with me until I felt better. When I got sick, he would drop everything to take care of me.Because of that, I resolutely decided to marry for love, even if that meant moving far away from home.Just as I was in a pure white wedding dress, holding a bouquet that signified purity and looking forward to our life together, I overheard his friends discussing his first love."I always thought Shayne and Luna would end up together. They were so passionately in love back then.""Exactly. They looked like a match made in heaven.""What a pity."The regret in their voices was genuine.At that moment, I began to doubt whether Shayne truly loved me.

Shayne's other hand pinched my chin, forcing me not to evade, and then his lips pressed down on mine."You'll like it."…Zach was in the senior class of kindergarten.School started at 8:00 am every day.It took about 20 minutes to drive to the kindergarten. To avoid being late, he would leave home at 7:30 am every day.I, on the other hand, got up at 6:30 am to cook breakfast.Today's breakfast was a bit simpler. It was ravioli that I prepared last night.The broth was the troublesome part. I needed to simmer fresh chicken broth.I lay bay leaves at the bottom of the ceramic pot, placed a whole cleaned chicken inside, and finally placed a few sprigs of thyme on top. I then covered it and turned the heat to high.Once the water boiled, I lifted the lid, and the rich aroma of chicken broth wafted up to greet me.After adding a bit of salt, I turn the heat down to simmer.Now that I was done with this, I happily left the kitchen and went to the dressing room to help the boys

Did Shayne write Luna this letter on the eve of our wedding?The other letter was Luna's reply to him."I'm sending back your letter with mine. Shayne, I am happy now. I hope you wish me happiness. And please don't contact me in the future; I'm afraid my husband will misunderstand."After I read these two letters, I could connect almost all the information in a way that made sense.Luna was clearly Shayne's first love. And yet, Shayne hated Luna so much.I subconsciously tightened my grip on the mop.So, it was because Luna had once betrayed Shayne. However, he convinced himself not to dwell on the mistakes Luna had made or the hurt she had caused him. All he wanted was for her to return to him.Unfortunately, Luna still rejected him.It was only at this moment that I finally understood why he was so emotional when his friends mentioned Luna at our wedding.But what about now?Why did he bring out these two letters?Was he trying to remind himself of Luna's heartlessness a

What?That short sentence left me in shock. I couldn't regain my composure for a long time.I only stared at Shayne in disbelief.He said he took Zach to his mother's place, didn't he?Zach's grandmother should know about Zach's condition. She wouldn't let Zach eat just anything.So, why was Zach in the hospital?And how did Luna know about Zach's condition?"Which hospital is it?" Shayne hurriedly picked up the clothes that had fallen on the floor and put them on in a panic.Luna cried on the phone while telling him the name of the hospital.Worried about Zach, I could only follow behind Shayne.It was then that Shayne noticed my presence.I knew my expression was grim as if I was on the verge of exploding, but I ultimately held it in.He opened the car door and got in immediately.I also got into the passenger seat.We were silent the entire journey.My head, messy with information, slowly started to clear up during this 20-minute journey.In other words, Shayne was s

Zach's innocent yet blunt words pierced my heart like a needle. While sick and in his most vulnerable moment, the person he thought of was still the very woman responsible for making him ill.I looked down at him. The illness had clearly taken a toll on him. After saying just two sentences, he had already fallen back asleep.Shayne had heard Zach's words too. He took my hand, uttering, "Honey."I didn't feel like talking to him and tried to pull my hand away.However, he tightened his grip, refusing to let go. "What happened today was just an accident. Mom acted on her own. Zach only said that because he's sick; he didn't mean to say that—""I can understand where Zach's coming from," I said as I carried Zach and headed toward the exit. "He's infatuated with Luna, so naturally, he thinks she's perfect in every way."I paused for a moment before continuing, "And yet, I've strictly forbidden Zach from seeing Luna. He's bound to react strongly against it at first. "Zach is not a b

"If others don't bother us, we certainly shouldn't go looking for trouble or bullying anyone else. However, if someone bullies us, we must find a way to fight back. Understand?"My expression was unusually serious.Willow replied earnestly, "Got it, Mommy. Ever since Mason left our class, all the other kids in my class have been genuinely nice to me."I smiled. "I know. I decided to remind you since we just so happen to be on this topic. I hope you can be happy every day and not be affected by others' moods."Willow answered seriously, "I'll remember that."She then added, "Don't worry, Mommy. I won't let anyone bully me!"I continued to remind her, "If you ever encounter a problem you can't solve on your own, don't force yourself to handle it. Always let your parents know. We'll help you solve these problems, okay?"Willow looked at me. The love in her gaze grew gradually. "Okay."As I looked at her, I suddenly recalled the times before I gave up on Zach. Whenever he faced any

Maisy's cooking was almost the same as Aralyn's. It was delicious. Zach smiled faintly.Although he had made mistakes in the past, at least he still had family by his side even though his parents no longer wanted him.…Shayne woke up. He glanced at the time and reached out to the side of the bed, only to find that it was already cold.Had Aralyn gotten up already?He got up and walked to the kitchen, asking impatiently, "Aralyn, is breakfast ready?"The kitchen was empty.Only then did Shayne remember that they were divorced.He dejectedly returned to the dining table and sat down. He buried his hands in his hair, overwhelmed with regret.Why couldn't he remember they were divorced? Perhaps it was because his recent dreams were about his time together with Aralyn. This caused him to be confused about his dreams and reality.When Shayne regained clarity, he turned to look in the direction of the kitchen. It was still empty.He couldn't help but feel a pang of remorse. Had

Unfortunately, I gave birth to a son. This meant that the skills I had learned couldn't be used.Now, I had a daughter. I could tie her hair beautifully every day.I braided Willow's hair into a bun. She then looked in the mirror and saw her hair all tied up, revealing her cute and round face. She blinked and exclaimed, "Who's kid is this? She's too cute!" My mood couldn't help but become better upon seeing her compliment herself. I played along and said, "Probably our family's, right?"Willow turned to look at me. "You must be really lucky then."I had no idea where she picked it up, but her tone was like that of an adult. Even so, it had that childishness unique to children. It was especially cute.I couldn't resist and pinched her little cheeks. "That's right. People are definitely envious of me for having such a wonderful daughter."Willow nodded. "And all the other kids must be jealous of me too, for having such an amazing mom like you."She then added, "I love you, Mommy

Luna's eyes were filled with longing. If she managed to win Julian's heart, would he treat her that well? Would he protect her unconditionally? Would he...Luna bit her lip shyly.Would he spend all his money on her?...Once I returned to my bedroom, I turned on the desk lamp and sat at my desk. I drew for some time and only stopped once I was a little tired.I reached up to pull back the curtain. It was pitch black outside the window. The sound of insects came and went. The silence was comforting.I stood up and leaned against the window, taking in the view outside.I had been constantly harassed lately, and I couldn't help but feel irritable. However, when I forced myself to face these things, I suddenly realized something. The more annoyed I was, the more it proved that they had succeeded, right? As such, what I needed to do now was find a way to free myself from their influence. I started relaxing gradually.I now had a child who loved me and a husband who was willing
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 462
Logically, Luna should be asleep by now. Yet, she was still chatting energetically with Julian. However, Rowan was the one using Julian's account.Luna had been sowing discord between Julian and Aralyn right under his nose the whole time. Through the difference between Luna's attitudes toward him and Julian, he easily saw her true nature.Rowan turned off the screen. Even so, he had to admit that Luna was brilliant and knew how to play the long game. Although he had no money left, she was still willing to take the time and effort to deal with him.He had once naively believed that the reason Luna was willing to stay in touch with him was because she loved him and couldn't let go of him. That was why she kept reaching out to him on and off. Perhaps he was more important than money in her heart.Rowan chuckled. Pain welled up within him, making it hard to breathe. However, the truth was that Luna was only willing to spend time interacting with him because she wanted to secure the m

It was probably because it was nighttime and Luna's voice was soft that Shayne was uncharacteristically moved. "Don't worry. Even if Aralyn and I really reconcile, I won't ignore you and the child."Luna almost rolled her eyes as she thought, "If you take care of me and the child, how am I supposed to be with Julian?"Of course, she didn't say it out loud as she replied, "But if it really comes to that and you still keep in touch with me, Aralyn won't be happy. For your future, maybe it's better if you keep your distance from me.""What about the child?" Shayne wasn't about to give up his own child.Luna nearly blurted out that the child wasn't his, but she swallowed the words at the last moment. "If you want to see the child, you can come by occasionally."Shayne fell silent."But it's probably better if you don't visit. Otherwise, she'll get jealous and think you still care about me.""Give me some time to think it over," replied Shayne."Alright." Luna smiled in satisfacti
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 460
Shayne roughly understood what Luna meant but didn't show it. "Oh?""I want to invest all that money into my work. If the marketing is effective, then everyone across the country will know how much money you spent and how much effort you put into promoting my work. This way, you will have a better reputation."Aralyn would also realize how generous he could be to the people he cared about."How about 50 million?" Shayne raised the amount decisively.Luna's heart raced wildly. She had never imagined that she only needed to say a few words to make Shayne willing to add another 40 million.But she didn't rush to accept as a crazy idea flashed through her mind, making her heart nearly leap out of her chest. Cold sweat even formed on her forehead.She feared that if she stated the figure she had in mind, Shayne would think she was too greedy and refuse to give her anything.But she wanted to give it a shot.If Shayne agreed, she would have a fortune in her hands.Luna feigned nonch
